Safe and Efficient Cooling in Hazardous Applications

Posted July 3, 2018byNoren Thermal

Technology that is employed into hazardous locations, like extreme climates or oil and gas fields, have always had to be crafted with several special considerations in mind. Given the volatile environments that they operate in, such technological solutions have to be as safe, sturdy, and reliable as they are efficient and effective. For example, besides successfully keeping electrical enclosures and equipment safe, heat exchangers that operate in hazardous conditions are also designed to ensure a tight and formidable seal against any environmental elements entering the enclosures they’re attached to. This often makes them ideal for the highest performance applications, including those that are located in volatile locations.

Considerations for Hazardous Thermal Management

The fact that heat exchangers can operate for years without needing maintenance or repairs automatically makes them slightly safer than other solutions. The fewer times employees have to venture out to fix the equipment, the less risk they have to take in the course of their workday. However, operating in hazardous locations also means ensuring that no liquid or other substance is allowed to exit the enclosure, and no dust, chemicals, moisture, excess heat, or other harmful influences can enter it. This is especially important when the environmental hazards include combustible substances, such as those found around oil and gas fields.

The Benefits of High-Performance Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers have always been known for addressing the most demanding thermal management challenges in the most effective and eco-friendly manner. Those benefits now often include a high level of protection that makes them suitable for thermal management needs in a wider variety of industries. In addition to safety, they can also provide a higher level of efficiency, productivity, and energy conservation than most other thermal management solutions.
